Social Media AI-Animated Pet Stories

A collection of short, engaging videos created for All Things Furry, a page dedicated to celebrating pets. Using AI animation, static pet images were brought to life with movement, personality, and storytelling. Each video features a unique animal character with a custom-written script, tailored narration, and carefully synced visuals — turning simple pictures into heartwarming, shareable moments that pet lovers can’t resist.
Overview
For this project, I created a fully animated, narrated video featuring Belle, a playful and stylish dog, as the main character. The goal was to bring Belle to life by giving her a unique personality and creating an immersive, engaging story that resonates with pet lovers. Using AI tools like, I transformed static pet images into a dynamic video that tells a story, complete with movement, ambiance, and voiceover narration.
Description
The video showcases Belle enjoying her “soft life” on a sunny drive, dressed in her favorite pink outfit, driving with the windows down. The narrator sets the tone, describing her experience while her favorite song, plays in the background. Belle is animated to bob her head to the music, interact naturally with her environment, and express personality traits like confidence, joy, and style. The project combines AI animation, storytelling, and voiceover to create a warm, engaging experience for viewers.
Challenges & Solutions
Capturing Belle’s playful and stylish personality from a static image required careful attention to gestures, head movements, and posture. I overcame this by using AI motion tools like https://www.freepik.com/ and https://hailuoai.video/ and refining frame-by-frame adjustments.
Tools & Skills Used
FREEPIK & Ha: Animation for picture-to-video transformation

Jack the Surfing Pup

Overview
This project tells the story of Jack, a playful puppy with a big dream: to become the first dog surfer in BarkTown history. Using AI animation, storytelling, and narration, I transformed a simple pet image into an inspiring and cinematic short video that captures Jack’s adventurous spirit.
Description
Jack dreamt of riding the waves — and when the moment came, he didn’t hesitate. On his very first attempt, the ocean carried him like he was born for it. Animated with lifelike movements, Jack balances on his surfboard with confidence, his ears catching the wind, as if destiny itself made him a surfer. l enhanced the story by highlighting Jack’s determination and triumph, while the animation creates a smooth, uplifting scene that pet lovers can instantly connect with.
